Scene needs

[Elaine Meng]

9/25/25
as you said (this is mainly a note to self), cannot delete items that are saved in a scene (atoms, 2dlabels, ...)

saves:
background color, view (model positions & clipping), atom visibility and color, pseudobond visibility and color, 2D labels & their visibility, map isosurface single color and transparency

does not save:
atom style (e.g. sticks vs. spheres), ribbon style, 3D labels visibility, size (atom radius, stick radius), molecular surface coloring (all? per-vertex?), surface style (both map and molecular)

surface style not important for molecular surface (rare use of dots/mesh) but moderately important for map isosurfaces

10/15/25 update (partly note to self)

now includes map display style, thresholds, coloring including per-vertex
...but still not molecular surface coloring or patch transparency (but remembers it if the whole surface has same transparency?? very confusing)

Atoms/bonds styles/sizes now saved.

Ribbon styles now saved in scenes

Reassigning to Tom. I tried to get 3D labels to save/restore in scenes and failed, and the surface stuff is also him.
